DIRTY DOZEN: PROGRAM

1. What is the project supposed to achieve?
Create the guide for Visions5 - inform the audience of our films, papers, and sponsors along with general info on the festival

2. Who is the customer?
Filmmakers and scholars, the audience, our sponsors

3. What are the deliverables of the project?
The program itself - it is the face of the DOE! 

4. What is the budget?
$804.47

5. How long will it take?
About a month overall to create - design work will take a couple of weeks, followed by inserting the actual information. 

6. What specific skills are needed?
Time Management, graphic design knowledge, ability to organize a large amount of information

7. What special resources are needed?

Photoshop, Illustrator, sponsorship logos, information on the films and papers from the filmmakers and scholars 

8. Who is working the project? What is each person's job?
Me, Adam F, and Michael for now. I'm creating the overall design over the next couple of weeks and once the programing is locked down, it'll be up to all three of us to put it all together. 

9. What is the schedule?
Feb 17 - Finish skeletal outline
Feb 31 - All info on films/paper MUST be into Art Dept. 
March 10 - Finish first draft with team after all films/papers have been decided upon
March 17 - Have second draft finished 
March 24 - Finish it up, send it to printing for approval 


10. What are the risks? (Small vs. large impact, likely vs. unlikely)
  • Large impact, likely: The filmmakers/scholars don't send in their information, putting us behind
  • Large impact, unlikely: File gets corrupted or something before printing
  • Small impact, likely: Issues with formatting cause time constraints
  • Small impact, unlikely: Photoshop stops working
11. How will you communicate with your team?
Through Facebook and texting

12. How will you determine if the project is successful?
If the program is finished on time and looks cohesive with our campaign; also if the audience likes it

Week 1

This week, we've had an hour long Art/Marketing meeting and I established some base ideas with my new animation team for what we're going to do with our campaign this year, which will be presented in class. On Friday my team met with Joshua to discuss the Bake Sale poster for an hour, and over the weekend I spent several hours putting together the poster.

Over this next week, I'll be meeting with development to discuss another poster design coming up, starting work on leading the animation projects that are in the works, and revising the poster drafts for Bake Sale and actually creating the next poster.
